About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Megatrum Ointment is a topical antimicrobial formulation containing Povidone Iodine 5% w/w and Ornidazole 1% w/w, designed for the effective management of infected wounds, ulcers, and skin infections. Povidone Iodine acts as a broad-spectrum antiseptic, providing rapid bactericidal, fungicidal, and virucidal activity by releasing free iodine, which penetrates microbial cell walls and disrupts protein and nucleic acid structure and synthesis. Ornidazole, a nitroimidazole derivative, offers potent activity against anaerobic bacteria and protozoa by inhibiting nucleic acid synthesis, thereby complementing the antiseptic action of Povidone Iodine. The combination ensures comprehensive antimicrobial coverage, reducing the risk of secondary infections and promoting optimal wound healing. Megatrum Ointment is indicated for use in superficial wounds, burns, surgical incisions, and diabetic ulcers where infection control is paramount. It is applied topically in a thin layer to the affected area, typically once or twice daily, as directed by a healthcare professional. Caution is advised in patients with iodine sensitivity or thyroid disorders. Megatrum Ointment is contraindicated in deep puncture wounds and severe burns without medical supervision. Proper usage enhances wound hygiene and supports faster recovery while minimizing microbial resistance development.

About Ornidazole
Ornidazole is an antibacterial medication used to treat infections caused by protozoan bacteria. It is effective against conditions such as amoebiasis and trichomoniasis. Ornidazole works by damaging the DNA of the infection-causing agent, inhibiting its growth. In summary, Ornidazole is beneficial for treating protozoal infections.
How It Works
Ornidazole disrupts DNA synthesis in protozoan organisms, leading to cell death and resolution of infection.
